The traditional KJV interpretation of the Angel Gabriel’s message to Daniel is as follows:  “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate,” Daniel 9:27.  Can you understand the message relayed?  The failure to give a clear accurate interpretation of this passage is a cause for concern. Who is the “he” in this passage? Modern day translators declare that the “he” is the Anti-Christ, yet according to proper interpretation the subject here is the anointed prince. This switch has flipped the meaning of current Prophecy projections and warnings.

The verse prior to verse twenty-seven states: “After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed Prince will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the commander (Anti-Christ) who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary.” The “appointed prince” is in the singular whereas the “people of the coming commander” is in the plural tense. The “he” in verse 27 is also in the singular and therefore refers to the “appointed prince” and not to the “people of the commander.” The appointed prince is also the main subject and since verses 26 and 27 belong in the same paragraph or in the same line of thought, the “he” in verse twenty-seven must be the “Anointed Prince.”  He, the Anointed Prince and not the commander, “shall confirm the Covenant with many for one week.” The word “confirm” is also incorrect. We will see that the correct interpretation is the word, “prevails.”

The commander’s army is the enemy of the Jews and will “destroy both the city (Jerusalem) and the Temple.” The commander will not confirm a covenant. This flip in translation caused teachers, pastors, and authors around the world to misinterpret one of the most important prophecies in the Word of God.  Following the crowd is not a good excuse.  It is important for everyone to understand that the New Covenant prevails and not this inauspicious commander and his people.  The “anointed prince” is Jesus Christ who is in Heaven directing Gabriel to make this important announcement to Daniel. Why would Jesus ignore sharing the purpose of His birth, mission, and resurrection which prevails against sin and death and all forms of wickedness, anxiety, and fear?  Why would Jesus ignore his own Promise to Israel and waste time announcing Satan’s future commander and covenant?

The Archangel Gabriel also gave important messianic announcements to the Temple priest Zechariah and to the Virgin Mary. It would be out of character for him to digress from the theme of this divine message to introduce an Anti-Christ as the Covenant maker. Why would God’s heavenly messenger skip the Messiah’s New Covenant that would end all sacrifices and offering? Why would he skip the message of hope and steadfast love that God was conveying to His exiled nation? And why would Garbriel ignore the “desolation” that Christ would suffer at the hands of this coming “commander?” The entire message recorded by Daniel would also comfort future Jewish generations that would go through four hundred years of silence and severe trials.

We should note three mistakes in translation: 1) The correct Hebrew translation for the verb “gabar” is not the word “confirms” but is the more commanding word “prevails.” In the Hebrew Lexicon the word gabar is defined as “to cause to overpower.” Thus, verse 27 should read: “His Covenant will prevail with many for one week.”  The New Covenant of Grace “prevails” as the Anointed Prince defeats Satan in the wilderness, sets the captives free, brings sight to the blind, defeats death, and redeems humanity. Jesus is the 2nd Adam born fully man and fully God. He has come to reclaim the right of dominion from Satan and save mankind.  Using the word “confirm” would carry less power and authority. God prevails and overcomes Satan, sin and death through Jesus Christ and His Covenant of Grace. The New Covenant prevails over the Old Testament but does not abolish it.

2)  We can interpret the 2^nd part of verse twenty-seven as: “and He will be made desolate on the wings of abomination.”  Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah who fulfills all prophecy and therefore is the suffering servant who is made desolate. An obvious way to translate this entire passage is, “The covenant shall prevail for many for one week. In the middle of the week, He (Jesus Christ) shall cause the sacrifices and offerings to cease, and upon the wing of abomination He shall be made desolate.”  Jesus Christ was “made desolate” when He was betrayed by Judas, abandoned by his disciples, denied by Peter, and when he appeared alone before the High Priest who blasphemed God, the Jewish people that rejected him over Barabas, and Pilate who condemned Him.  He was again “made desolate” when he had to carry the cross on which he had been nailed to and died on, bearing the sins of all mankind past, present, and future. Nobody in history has been made so desolate for the sake of others.

“The wings of Abomination” refers to the location or locations where this atrocity took place. The majority of Christ’s physical torture and mocking began in the Roman Antonia and ended on the Cross which are both located in the Northwestern “wing” of Mount Moriah. This “wing of abomination” could also refer to the Garden Tomb which is also on Mount Moriah but further away. Both are outside the city wall or on a wing outside the body of the Temple and Temple court.  In each case the Lord “was made desolate on the wing of abomination.”

3)  It is unfortunate that verse twenty-seven is one of the most misinterpreted verses in the entire Bible. In some versions the word “destroyed” replaces the word “desolate.” Again, “destroyed” is the wrong word to use for we know that Christ cannot be destroyed. He is “made desolate” when he is beaten up, scourged, and placed on a cross where He redeems the sins of the world.  Jesus Christ is not “destroyed.”  This incorrect translation is a result of improper interpretation throughout the Daniel 9:26-27 passage.

Improper translation in the book of Daniel leads to wrong conclusions made in studying and teaching the book of Revelation. These Prophecy teachers claim that Revelation foretells of an Abomination of Desolation in an “end time Temple” in Jerusalem. This is a false narrative, for the book of Revelation does not mention the Abomination of Desolation. These teachers refer to Revelation 13:8-14, which speaks of the first beast, “all who inhibit the earth will worship him” and the second beast “is empowered to give life to the image of the beast.”  They claim this worship and image coming to life has to happen in a future Temple built on the Temple Mount. And they suggest that these events are the Abomination of Desolation. Note that the book of Revelation does NOT state the location where these events happen. They could happen at the Vatican or in any place on earth.

Note that John the Apostle authored the Book of Revelation 20 years after the real Abomination of Desolation happened in Jerusalem in 67 AD. That is why it is not part of John’s vision given to him by Jesus Christ and portrayed in the book of Revelation. Both Paul and Jesus warned about the abomination of desolation because it had not happened. It would happen soon after Nero executed Paul in 67 AD. Jesus warned his disciples about Nero’s abomination of desolation and told them to flee before a three-and-a-half-year Roman siege would trap them in the city walls. In 70 AD Titus, “the commander” destroyed the Temple and killed the survivors of the siege.

In summary the main theme of Gabriel’s message in about 532 BC was to announce to Daniel and to those who read Daniel’s scroll that a specific time was set for the Messiah to appear. This Messiah or Prince is Jesus Christ who ministers for half a week, or 3.5 years and then he is crucified near the end of this period. This represents the first 3.5-years. His death and resurrection end the need for sacrifices and offerings. During this “desolation” He redeems mankind. The Resurrection ends the need for a Temple since Jesus Christ is “the Temple” that He said would be “raised up after 3 days” and He is the New Covenant that redeems all those who place their trust in Him. He told the Pharisees that the “Kingdom of God is within us.” All who receive Him have become the spiritual “Temple of God.”

Furthermore, the second 3.5-year period entitled “The Wrath of God” by Jesus Christ, John, and Paul was orchestrated by God from the beginning of Time to occur in the last generation.  We are that last generation as defined by the parable of the Fig tree in Matthew 24. This parable and the Great Sign of Revelation 12 are interpreted in the author’s first book: Cosmic Crossroad Countdown: the Fig Tree and the Prophetic Generation.  Our generation began with the birth of the nation of Israel and comes at the end of the Church age. The Church age represents a 2000-plus-year span of time, like the 69-week span of time in Daniel’s 70-week Prophecy. This means that the final 3.5-year period of Daniel’s 70^th week may happen at any moment in the future. This will happen after the rapture and at a time when the Wrath of God will judge the sin of the world. Jesus discusses this final 3.5-year period of “Wrath” in his Olivett Discourse and never mentions any future 7-year period. Again, we must note that even though Jesus referred to Daniel’s 70-weeks prophecy, He did not warn of a “Wrath of God” that would last 7 years. He infers that his ministry represents the first half of the 7-year period.  This will be detailed in Chapter 3.

Jesus warned His followers to look for the “desolation” spoken of by “Daniel the prophet.” This desolation began when Nero placed his image in the Temple in 67 AD and executed both Peter and Paul. The Roman siege of Jerusalem continued into 70 AD when the Roman commander Titus finally breached the walls and desecrated the Temple by burning it down. In 2 Thessalonians 2:4, Paul wrote, “He opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped, to that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.”  The final desecration would happen in 70 AD or 38 years after Jesus gave his Olivett Discourse in Matthew 24. Those in Jerusalem who did not flee with “just the clothes on their back” would die in Jerusalem. That is why Jesus warned his disciples to quickly leave Jerusalem when they saw Nero “set himself up as God” in the Temple.

Twenty years after the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem, John the Apostle wrote in Revelation about a time of “great tribulation” that would last 3.5 years.  The “Abomination of Desolation” had already happened in Jerusalem and now Jesus Christ returning from Heaven gives John a vision of end time events that will happen on earth and in Heaven. Chapters 11, 12, and 13 describe events that last a total of three-and one-half years. Jesus does not describe any 7-year period of tribulation nor any 7-year “Wrath of God.”  Surely this detailed vision would reveal something about a 7-year judgment or wrath to come. This clearly suggests that Jesus Christ fulfilled the first 3.5 years of the 70^th week and therefore was the Covenant Maker who ended sacrifices and offerings for eternity.

In conclusion Word of God reveals that we will be looking forward to a three-and one-half-year Wrath of God and not to a “7-Year Wrath of God” popularized by the futurist prophecy movement. Jesus Christ has fulfilled the first 3.5 years of Daniel’s 70th Week Prophecy. This means that both the “covenant” and the betrayal following that covenant by a so-called commander or anti-Christ figure will not happen in the future. What Jesus and Paul described as “abomination of desolation” happened in their generation, in 67 AD under the leadership of Nero and eventually Titus. Therefore, the Abomination of Desolation spoken of by Jesus in the Olivette Discourse and by Paul in his letter to the Thessalonians has already been fulfilled. The covenant that Gabriel announces is the New Covenant given unconditionally to all who receive Jesus Christ as Savior. We are not looking forward to an “abomination of desolation” that Darby and others claim will happen in a Temple on the Temple Mount. Both the Jews and secular believers do not want a Temple. What appears to be a minor issue has become a major deviation of Truth concerning the whole of end time Biblical Prophecy.

I believe one reason Trump has been talking to Putin is to make sure that he understands that this attack is regional and not his business. There is a treaty between Iran and Russia —- so Trump is making sure that Putin understands that this attack is to prevent a nuclear war near Russia that could affect the underbelly of Russia. Hopefully he will abide by this effort and warning.

See with eyes that see so that you may know the Truth and walk in the Light and not the darkness. Pray in this time turmoil so that you may understand the Word of God. So many have misunderstood– that the Time of Tribulation is near. They have not seen the Signs nor heard the
winds of the Spirit blow. The rider on the White Horse will soon run his ghostly race to subdue the earth with lies and deceit. Are you ready?  Time is short and therefore the Author seeks help in every venue to get the message out. God wants the world to know that the Great Sign of Revelation 12 was a divine warning of “Invisible Wars” both natural and supernatural that will continue to shake up the world.

In the last 8 years, America and Europe have lost their way allowing dictators, dark spiritual forces, and emotion to command the stage. An irrational woke mentality seeks to dictate truth and policy. Our national debt has soared, and the threat of nuclear war and internal rebellion has inflamed the fears and anxiety of the masses. The war in Ukraine and the threats in the middle East and Far East are taking the superpowers to the edge of war. Like the Bethlehem Star and the birth of the nation of Israel, the Great Sign of Revelation 12 was meant to get our attention. It has a powerful meaning for our day. God calls it the GREAT SIGN for a reason – so why are so few investigating its importance? Is it a Great Sign because God is warning us of the soon to come Great Tribulation and His Great Wrath?

As we study this Great Sign and Crossroad that connects to it, we will unwrap other mysteries and the path to the future. There is still time, but we must act now to pursue God’s Truth for it will save souls. To keep up with events, read new posts at: CosmicCrossroad.com and ToGodBtheGlory.org. The fact that most people cannot open “the mysterious” Word of God shows its power and therefore it’s profound depth. In this book the Word is prayerfully used to reveal Answers. With God’s Word and the Holy Spirit, the blind can see and find hope. The rewards are inexpressible for Jesus Christ; the Author of Salvation is with us and wants an intimate relationship with us. He wants us to know and understand the love and hope in His message, many of which are revealed in his prophecies, warnings, and signs.  It is up to us to see with eyes that see and hear with ears that hear before these “Days of Noah” turn into the stage for the Anti-Christ.   Check this cool Movie Trailer that I made https://youtu.be/z2wQpcbLTD8

I have a question for all those optimistic pastors that have stated or suggested on TV that God will delay His judgment and thus the Rapture based upon a particular Church or regional revival.  Revival is good, but God did say that these last days are like the Days of Noah and those “people as a whole” did not repent even though they were heavily forewarned by Noah for 100 years. So I ask those leaders and you, do you really think that repentance can happen when half the church believes that Israel is not relevant in Biblical Eschatology and that God no longer has a Covenant with the nation of Israel? Sorry but God has an appointed Day and Hour for the Rapture and the leaders in the Church will unfortunately try everything to convince Christians not to worry but to keep the agenda and things will work out. They want the weekly income and are unwilling to believe that things will change.

The important thing to know is that God is in control but that His control means that He will bring judgment to the nations around us that are directly rebelling against Him. The most rebellious nation may just be America as we are the promoters of gender transition and puberty blockers that are destroying children. Pfizer and other big Pharma make billions on these life altering – soul destroying drugs.

We also have the largest most lucrative gambling, pornography, and drug abuse markets in the world. We generate the most idols and other bad thinking that is hurting the hearts of people throughout the world. So do you really believe that God is going to ignore America and passover the doors of evil that are being glorified by our wicked government? Wake up Church, get your life in order and stop worshipping your idols!!!!!!!!!! Start sharing the Gospel and read the Bible. 7 years ago I was warning of a foreshadowing of the 7 years of Tribulation and warned of prophetic events to happen in 2024 and 2025 or primarily in the Jewish year of 5784-85. Read the book Cosmic Crossroad Countdown: The Invisible War & Final Chapter. All the book does is just point out what the Prophets have said and the Great Signs that God has given us yet we do not see with eyes that see and hear with ears that hear.

We are too confused and distracted by the world and our own anxieties. And do not missunderstand. Repentance is importance but the key element is Obedience to His Word—to His Name. Obedience is better than sacrifice and frankly in America or the average church repentance is not sincere enough to reflect even a big sacrifice. How many really change their habits long term?

Is it just a coincidence that we have a bizzare incompetant leadership in this trying time? Is it coincidence that perversion as mentioned in Romans 1 is a dominant part of our culture? God has already judged our nation and the next stage can be understood if you read the history of the fall of Empires such as the Roman Empire.

Dr. Hofmann will show how carefully God intervenes in history linking the natural to the supernatural as His promises are fulfilled in sequences of time marked out by 6-Days in Creation. In the center is Jerusalem, the mystery of New Beginnings, three prophetic books and the divine connection of Festivals & Jubilees. This is a warning beacon in our Time to draw us to Truth and to solve the puzzle of the century before it is too late. Just as the scholars and scribes missed the signs 2000 years ago, people may miss divine joy unless they read this book. It is a sign that points to both Israel and to the United States.

The Bible has many mysteries, but the greatest mystery linked to Revelation is rarely discussed. Recently a renowned Prophecy speaker announced that he was beginning a program on Bible Mysteries. His list did not include Revelation 12, which contains at least 5 major mysteries. Revelation the Key Prophetic book given to us by Jesus Christ himself, is the only book that promises a Blessing to anyone who reads it, hears it, or understands it. Why? Because it is relevant to our faith and to understanding the Return of Jesus Christ, the Judgment of the Earth, and the Kingdom to come including the His Eternal Heaven.

The book centers on Revelation 12 which explains the Great Sign of the Woman and the Casting of Satan and His Angels out of Heaven. It is a Banner Chapter to get our Attention! It cannot be in Chronological order because Chapter 7 presents the martyred saints in heaven, and Chapter 11 reveals the murder of the two Witnesses.  How could Satan kill these saints on earth, if Satan and his angels are still in heaven accusing the Saints in Chapter 12?

You will discover Answers that will make total sense. This enigmatic chapter in Revelation speaks of a Dragon, a Child, a Woman, and an array of stars that form the Great Sign. Nowhere in the Bible does God mention a “great sign” except here. Yet, pastors and other leaders negate this Sign by saying it happened before the beginning of time. So, I ask you, why would God call it “A Great Sign,” if people were not yet on earth to see it. Are our leaders afraid to address this because God states that anyone who changes the meaning of His Revelation will be cursed? Remember God also says that anyone who reads, hears, or understands His Revelation will be Blessed. This makes the Book of Revelation the most important book in the World to read and understand.

Despite the severe warning many Bible translators have taken great liberty in re-interpreting words in Greek to fit their own agenda and prejudices. A good example is the description of the key 4th Horse of the Apocalypse- the only rider and horse that is given a title and that title is Death. Translators claim that the word “Chlooros” can be interpreted as “yellow” or “pale” which is NOT TRUE. We get the word “chlorophyll from Chlooros” and chlorophyll is bright green. The ancient Greek word for yellow is Xanthos and “pale” is not a true color because it can be used to describe many different colors. A pale face is not the same color as a pale horse. In the case of horses it is an off-white. The translator I talked to said it cannot be green because horses are not green. What? So my reply was, “This is NOT an earth-dwelling horse- it is a supernatural horse because Death is riding it.” Maybe God wants us to know that none of the horses are natural horses! The point is the translators are wrong again- and why would God select another White Horse for Death? It undermines the prophetic meaning. So some translators have made up a new color “pale green” even though nowhere in the text does it suggest that color! NOPE, the color is plain jane GREEN – like a green lizard or snake or grass. The same word Chlooros is used in Mark 6:39 when describing the grass that Jesus and others sit on to eat.

God motivated and inspired Dr. Hofmann to write the series because the Tribulation period is fast approaching. He gave Dr. Hofmann the vision of a great scroll opening in the sky with Hebrew letters- and showed him that it was not a dream by separating the scroll into 3 scrolls—each in a Primary color – and bringing them together—was a profound message to him as an artist. Now he sees numbers like 7 as prophetically divine. Things are not going back to normal as the dark pyramid and principalities of evil widen their control and power. These powers include many well-known corporations and lesser-known entities involved in witchcraft and wickedness. Just as with the spread of the invisible Covid, every level and sector of society is being attacked by an invisible wave of natural and supernatural darkness that is full of lies and celebrates evil. God is shaking the Church and believers must keep in prayer. God wants us to stand up and share the Gospel and be both a Light and Salt to a very lost world.  The books Movie Trailer is below and you may order the newest edition at Amazon as softback or as an E-book for as little as $3. 

In Genesis 1:14, GOD tells us that He gave us the Sun, moon, and stars to separate night from day and to serve as Moedim which means “the appointed time.” Unfortunately theologians have limited God’s purpose by interpreting this word as “Seasons.” Moedim is the same Word that the scripture uses to describe the purpose of the Festivals; most specifically for Yom Kippur when the sins of the nation were to be atoned.  We know that the stars do not determine the seasons. So why was the word seasons used? It has little contexual value after all the message was given to Moses while he was in the wilderness under all the “lights in the sky.”  Most of those lights were the stars.  God says he will be using the lights in the sky as a Sign of His appointed times. An example of God setting an appointed time was the Sign of the Bethlehem Star to mark His first Coming, as a baby named Jesus. He also gave us the “Great Sign of Revelation 12” to Mark the time of His 2nd Coming as the King of King, and Lord of Lords, Jesus the Christ.

All of this is important to understand for God is warning us today that His appointed time is soon to come.  The Pandora’s box of evil, with its demonic attack led by an angry Satan is underway.  Each month we have seen an escalation of this evil and wickedness.  The stage is being set for the war that will allow the Anti-Christ to take control and for the Tribulation to begin.  And so it makes sense that God is trying to warn us that we must escalate our efforts to save the lost and bring our loved ones to the Lord.  Of course the Greatest Gift that God has given us is His Son.  For God so Loved the World that He allowed His Son to die for payment of our sins, so that anyone who believes in this Gift will not perish but will have eternal life.

He is the Way, only Way, and has prepared that path for us. He is LOVE. In His love He gave us the Way and the Means to have fellowship with Him so that we can have a new Life now and into the future with Him. He is super Good for he will never leave you nor forsake you. He is Omnipotent and therefore, there is no higher authority or power. He has unlimited power that will never be restrained, exhausted nor weakened. He is Sovereign and has a Plan for you that He has prepared. He loves you so much that He offers you a Light to push back darkness and a sword to defeat past, present and future evil that comes against you and those you love. Right now He is preparing the World for his final stage which will include the Anti-christ and the divine Judgment of evil and wickedness. So seek Him with all Your heart, mind, and soul.

The Answer is Salvation and salvation is as simple as receiving God’s merciful act of Grace and Truth. For a Gift is not of any use unless it is received. If you reject the Gift or the Truth of Salvation behind this Gift, no amount of work nor effort can replace it. Jesus Christ is the incarnate wisdom of God. He is the “Word” by whom all things were made (John 1:1-3). He is “the Truth” (John 14:6) and “the Light” (John 8:12) by whom alone men can come to God and follow Him. He is called “the Power of God, and the Wisdom of God” in 1 Corinthians 1:24. He called Himself “the wisdom of God” in Luke 11:49. As a bonus He breaks every bondage that imprisons us and sets us free to be a new creation or “creature” in Christ  II Corin. 5:17.

He is the Lamb of God who paid for our sins. On the Cross He ransomed us from the curse of sin and death. When He rose from the dead He defeated death and opened the Door to Heaven and Eternal life to all who are willing to surrender to this Truth and Hope. The Word “surrender” is used because it takes Faith to believe something beyond your own logic and natural state of being. “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen,” Hebrews 11:1. Read the Bible and seek God with all your heart and you will find Him. Ephesians 2:8-9 states, “For it is by Grace, through Faith, that you have been saved, It Is A Gift of God, not of works, so that no one can boast.”

Jonathan Cahn brought up an interesting comparison and warning going back to Roe vs Wade and the first 3 years of abortions from 1970 to 1973 comparing the 1.3 million abortions or deaths of “children” to a matching number of people lost to Covid 19 according to the CDC in its first 3 years. Both were 1.3 million. We have recently seen an incredible and almost totally irrational shift of our nation’s agenda focused on issues that are Woke or going against Natural Law and/or National Security. It is as if a spiritual wave of darkness has swept over us and instead of glorifying God and His blessings we are opening our gates to invasion by both physical and spiritual enemies.

Will soon to come major events bring the world to its knees? Is Europe about to weather a major record breaking cold front like one that is spreading throughout our nation? Will war rise to unprecendented levels and will this also include Taiwan and other fronts? The year 2024 may be linked to God’s time-table which is anchored in Genesis & interwoven throughout His Word. The war against the Houthi just escalated with Iran’s capture of a Greek tanker in the Gulf of Oman. Will that now initiate a new front in the Persian Gulf as the U.S. and the allies move their warships to that area too? Will this lead to Iran’s involvement with much greater assets on both sides. And because of the Treaty agreement with Russia, will this lead to its involvement?  National News commentators are even asking the question, “are we headed towards WWIII?”

If not WWIII it looks like we are headed into war called the war of Gog and Magog?  This is a semi-regional war in that the Bible focuses only on Israel but worldwide there may be serious nuclear or massive non-nuclear wars by the Red Dragon nation of China & its proxy North Korea for Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan?  Surely the United States will be involved in either or both fronts which will bring in all Nato countries including Turkey, and many non-Nato countries in North Africa and the Middle East.

In other words the rest of Prophecy is about to be fulfilled and we will soon see America weakened so that the war of Gog and Magog may be fulfilled. To further understand other Signs and Warnings that point to what is coming read the Cosmic Crossroad Countdown series…. everything in the first book has already come true. Trump was not destined to win and the invisible war or agent that undermined all levels and sectors throughout the world was forewarned. I purposefully lowered the price of the books so that everyone can afford them, and all profits are donated.  We are seeing a Trojan horse of illegal Chinese and Arab men and women of military physique and age enter freely though all our borders.  Will they initate an attack on our military bases and infrasture before a Chinese attack on Taiwan or an Iranian attack on Israel and our bases in the Middle East?  All of this is revealed in the book and incorporated in many of the Old Testament prophecies along with the New Testament book of Revelation. Note that Jesus Christ himself confirms what the Prophets wrote and confirms Adam and Eve, Noah, Isaiah, and even Jonah.

Here is a dangerous progression of current events: 1) A Satanic-like attack was made by Hamas against innocent settlers along the Gaza strip and over 2000 people including children were mercilessly killed  2)  Israel has retaliated by killing most of the top leaders of Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza, Samaria, and Judea 3) Israel has struck the Damascus airport and deep in Lebanon many times which may draw a Russian or Syrian response 4) and a weeks ago Israel killed Iran’s top Brigadier General along with a lot of militia proxy leaders.  Mix this with the War in Gaza and the increasing military action in Southern Lebanon plus the Houthi attacks on shipping and a formula for a major disaster in the Middle East could be in the works.  Will the War of Gog and Magog ignite? Everything suggests it will happen especially since we have weak leadership in America, and Iran is bent on retaliation.

The Bible states that there will be a big war in the region and that Damascus will be destroyed. This war is described in Ezekiel 38 and involves nations thought to be Russia as Magog, and Turkey as Tubal, and Iran as Persia. The one element preventing this war from happening is America and our military. Most students of the military end time Prophecy believe that U.S. will be internally or externally compromised by either a Trojan horse-like attack or an external nuclear attack—-or both. This will mimic the Persian victory over Babylon where Babylon fell in one day due to God’s judgment. Ironically it will also be Persia, that will launch this surprise internal attack on America since Hezbollah an Iranian proxy has thousands of agents in hundreds of cells within our nation and the FBI reported this over 5 years ago. Read the Cosmic Crossroad Countdown series to understand how God has warned us with both Signs and Warnings — in Genesis, the books of the Prophets in the Old Testament, Revelation in the NT, Generational markers, Mathew 24, other warnings spoken by Jesus Christ, and with a similar Sign in the Stars, Moon, and Planets (or Lights)  that he used to mark the birth of His 1st Coming.

Russia did not make a single sale at the big Dubai military airshow this year. A large part of this decline is due to competition from other nations that are new players in the game. With the poor performance of Russian military equipment in Ukraine, sales have dropped considerably since 2022. The sanctions have not helped and the Russians are having a hard time producing their top of line planes and other equipment because they depend on foreign chips that are not available to them anymore. Hence Russian resources are being depleted. The price of oil has fallen and so has the price for fertilizer and other products that they make any money from.

Putin is being backed into a corner and Xi, the leader in China, is ambitious and ready to take over Taiwan. He sees the world distracted by two wars and their lack of resources to fight another war. This does not bode well for 2024 especially since both North Korea and Iran are eager to launch nuclear missiles — for no reason except to cause chaos and maybe gain some advantage. This is a lie that has been whispered in their ear by the demonic world. Those same demons motivated Hamas in their Oct 7th attack. It is motivating Jew hatred around the world and a desire to glority Satan instead of Jesus Christ.  This is another fulfillment of prophecy as Jews from around the world are seeking to leave their homelands and Return to Zion.

To all you Catholics, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, and others who entirely endorse Replacement Theology, this is for you.  Notice that the Lord’s prayer states, “on earth as it is in heaven” which is a reference to the God’s Promise through the Prophets in the Old Testament that He will literally return in His 2nd Coming to establish His kingdom on earth for 1000 years. This Promise is then repeated in the last book of the New Testament (revealed to John and to the Church to encourage them for it lays out the future-“on earth as it is in heaven”) For Example Isaiah states: “The wolf will dwell with the lamb,” -“And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little boy will lead them”. Isaiah 11:6 or “The wolf and the lamb shall graze together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall do no evil or harm in all My holy mountain,” says the LORD. Isaiah 65:25. The book of Revelation reveals that after a Great Tribulation in which Satan and his angels along with the Anti-Christ and the False Prophet will be defeated there will be a 1000-year Kingdom on Earth in which Jesus Christ will reign on His throne in Jerusalem:

Revelation 20:2-7: “He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time. I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshipped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. ” Rev. 20:2-7.

Those that did worship the beast and received the mark on their foreheads will face the Great White Throne Judgment in which God will judge the living and the dead…..casting into Hell those who choose to reject God and His Gift of Salvation which is Given through the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Fatima 1917:  in Portugal and group of shepherd children.  The Vatican has called the visions at Fatima the “most prophetic of modern apparitions.” A group of young children reported seeing the Virgin six times while they were tending sheep in Fatima.  Millions crawl in penance to the shrine.

1981 Medjugorje: Bonia, six children reported seeing visions of the Virgin Mary with a child in her arms. Unlike with other sightings, some of the witnesses in this case claim they have continued to see the apparitions over the subsequent decades.  Millions worship at the shrine.

Guadalupe, Mexico: Mary is believed to have appeared to Juan Diego, an Aztec convert to Christianity, in 1531. According to the story, she asked that a shrine be built to her at the site of the apparition and left her image on the inside of a cloak. That image is now venerated at the Basilica of Guadalupe. Millions upon millions worship at various shrines.

Paris 1830:  Mary appeared to a young novice named Catherine Laboure (pictured here), who was part of the society of the Girls of the Charity.

La Salette, France (in the Alps): pilgrims travel to the holy site in the French Alps, where Mary is said to have appeared to two young shepherds.

1858 Lourdes, France:  Pope Benedict XVI blesses worshippers as he arrives at the Massabielle cave of the Lourdes shrine, in Lourdes, France, in 2008. About 6 million people are drawn to Lourdes every year to pray at the place where Mary is said to have appeared to a teenager named Bernadette Soubirous. Many of the pilgrims are sick and disabled and millions come to the spot in hopes of healing.

1879, Knock, County Mayo, Ireland:  Many Catholics believe that at least 15 people saw Mary appear over the altar of a village chapel in Knock, Ireland, along with Joseph, John the Apostle and a lamb.

1933, Banneux, Belgium:  Jan. 15, 1933, a young woman named Mariette Beco was reportedly standing at her kitchen window when she saw the Virgin Mary calling her from the garden. She claimed that she saw the apparition seven more times that year.

1980s, Kibeho, Rwanda:  The Virgin Mary allegedly appeared to several high school children in Kibeho, Rwanda, in the 1980s.

Is this another Sign of the End Time where Satan is appearing as an Angel of Light and is telling people like Pope Francis that there is no Hell, and that God offers Universal Salvation.  Are these signs and wonders part of Satan’s seduction of the world?  Pope Francis also believes that Evangelism was pagan activity in the Middle Ages and that it is the beauty of Pageantry that attracts people to Jesus Christ.  The Pope is trying to appeal to all religions and supports the Abrahamic Family House joining the 3 faiths together in Abu Dahbi.  He also supports the Cathedral of Our Lady of Arabia of worship in Bahrain.  The Fact is Jesus Christ spoke more about Hell than Heaven and He warned people of eternal damnation.  The most famous warning is when Jesus spoke of the Rich man and Lazarus.  He speaks of the Gates of Hell not prevailing against the Church.  And compares the narrow road to eternal life and the wide road to eternal destruction.  Is Pope Francis the False Prophet that will prepare the way for the Anti-Christ?  We shall soon see.
